The Casale’s rich history and close proximity to Rome provides an authentic Italian, one-of-a-kind vacation experience.

The Casale Sonnino sits on a hilltop that once belonged to the Roman Senator Caius Julius Cornutus Tertullus in 100 AD. Traces of his ancient residence, including fragments of columns and walls, have emerged from the soil to enhance the ambiance of the garden. The cistern of the ancient villa lies in the Casale's basement, and features a Roman well, Roman arches, and a system of 12th-century caves. Make sure to ask your host for a tour of this unique underworld during your stay!

On the main floor, life revolves around the fully-equipped country kitchen. Meals and gatherings of family and friends happen in the expansive living/dining room, which features a working marble fireplace, gorgeous crystal chandelier, and seating for 14. Upstairs sits four double-occupancy bedrooms, a vestibule bedroom, library with beds, and two bathrooms.

With a glass of wine in hand, unwind on the oversized rooftop terrace, which boasts 180 degree views that stretch from Rome to the Apennine Mountains. It’s the perfect spot for stargazing over the eternal city, playing a game of ping pong, or doing nothing at all.

With Rome so near, you can tour Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps during the day, and then be back at the Casale by nightfall. Enjoy local shopping and dining in the nearby towns of Monte Porzio Catone, Colonna, and Frascati, or head to renowned historical sites like Tivoli Gardens & Villa d'Este, Tusculum, Hadrian's Villa and Rome's ancient port, Ostia Antica. Naples and Florence are popular day trips traveling by train from Rome's Termini station. For more adventures, take day trips to the Lazio coast, Umbria, Tuscany and Abruzzo.

Getting around

The Casale Sonnino is conveniently located off of the Rome-Naples Highway A-1 which runs Southeast of the city. It takes 30 minutes to get into Rome-Termini station (Central Rome) by the train at Colle Mattia, a station about 1K from our Villa or Frascati, 3K from the Casale. There is parking for your car at Colle Mattia (free) and Frascati (fee). There is ample parking at the Casale for you and your family/friends. It is most convenient to go into Rome by train. Monte Porzio Catone is a 1K walk up the hill. For all other nearby towns, sightseeing, restaurants and day tripping, you will want a rental car for getting around. I will be happy to recommend the car rental company that I use - it's reliable and reasonable!

Interaction with guest

From the moment you book through the time you leave, brother and sister team and fifth generation owners (since 1883!), Claire and George are available to be as hands-on or hands-off as you wish to ensure an unforgettable experience. The duo can arrange everything from cooking classes, catered meals, and private drivers to guided, customized tours, dinner reservations, and more. You’ll be provided with a set of keys and gate access to come and go as you please. A rental car is strongly recommended. The Casale is your home away from home during your vacation in Italy

Response from the owner Thank you for this lovely review. We can't agree more with how easy and inexpensive it is to get into Rome by train. It's so much better to stay in the country far from the tourist crowds and pop into Rome to see the ancient sites or go shopping by day. By night, check out the local restaurants around the Castelli Romani and be happy. Come back soon!
